We use PDF abundantly in our daily lives, even more than we think. We often find bank statements, dissertations, legal documents, corporate reports, and many more locked precisely in PDF. There are many reasons why the PDF is so omnipresent in our lives.

A write protection error is one of the most common errors faced by users while using a USB drive or SD card. When a drive is write protected, you can access the photos in it, but you cannot modify it. In basic terms, your USB drive or SD card behaves like a non-rewritable CD.
